Ray was a special man, and I know he has many others that felt the same way about him. When he was the manager at Fruehauf Corp., I was his service manager in the late 70's and early 80's, and his personal care and help to make sure that I would make it work for me, has been something I have never forgotten. He was that kind of person for many of his employees. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers for the family will be going up, expecially for his son and my friend, Randy. Sam Cole.

When I reflect on all my interactions with Ray, my mind zooms immediately to all the good and fun times we had together. Boating trips with Ray were always the source of great memories. Overnight trips were adventures my wife and I will always hold dear. As we age the ability to do all these things is found wanting, but the memories grow and grow. Ray, I thank you for sharing a small part of your life with me. Tilli, I am sorry for you lose.
